Advances in porous chitosan-based composite hydrogels: Synthesis and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview on the most recently published information on the preparation of porous chitosan (CS) based composite hydrogels, such as: porous polygonal beads and monoliths, porous CS/inorganic particles, porous semi-and full-IPN hydrogel, and their applications either as very efficient composite sorbents for heavy metals and dyes, or as hemostats, smart drug delivery systems, wound dressings.

Silver nanoparticles: green synthesis and their antimicrobial activities.
TL;DR: This review presents an overview of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) preparation by green synthesis approaches that have advantages over conventional methods involving chemical agents associated with environmental toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-controlled silver nanoparticles synthesized over the range 5–100 nm using the same protocol and their antibacterial efficacy
TL;DR: The bacteriostatic/bactericidal effect of AgNPs is found to be size and dose-dependent as determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of silver nanoparticles against four bacterial strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topical formulations and wound healing applications of chitosan.
TL;DR: Chitosan enhances the functions of inflammatory cells such as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), phagocytosis, production of osteopontin and leukotriene B4, macrophages, and fibroblasts, which promotes granulation and organization, therefore chitosans is beneficial for the large open wounds of animals.
